1. No Q, no problem. Good thing I’ve been reading the book Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand. It’s  a great read, so far, so give it a try. The main character is Louie Zamperini and his story is amazing, but even before he enters the war…..
2. …..he set the California state high school record for the mile in 1936 at 4:21. Soooo, we had to see if multiple people running a single mile together could even come close to that record. Turns out the answer is no.
3. Great work today by all trying to beat the record. 2 man teams finished around 5 minutes and the 6-man team at the end did 4:31. Still not fast enough to beat ol’ Louie.
4. Thx for rolling with it on the fly. The cooler temp really helped with all the running. Shout out to Thorn and Chavez for tag-teaming the Q.
5. It was great to see Red Rider back at Highlands! You are always welcome. Good luck starting an AO down in Hotlanta.
6. Get together at the Clark Creeke pool later today.
7. Have a great weekend and make the most of it.

Godspeed
